Is Tahini Gluten Free?
Yes, pure tahini is naturally gluten-free as it is made from ground sesame seeds. However, it’s always important to check the label of store-bought tahini to ensure no gluten-containing ingredients have been added during processing or that it hasn’t been cross-contaminated with gluten-containing products during manufacturing.

People with sesame allergies: Tahini is made from sesame seeds, so those with sesame allergies should strictly avoid it.
Individuals with nut allergies: While tahini is not made from nuts, it’s often processed in facilities that also handle nuts, posing a risk of cross-contamination.
Those on low-calorie diets: Tahini is calorie-dense, so people watching their calorie intake should consume it in moderation.
People with calcium oxalate kidney stones: Sesame seeds are high in oxalates, which can contribute to kidney stone formation in susceptible individuals.
Those on low-fat diets: Tahini is high in fat content, although it’s mostly healthy unsaturated fats.
Individuals with compromised immune systems: There’s a small risk of salmonella contamination in raw sesame seeds, so immunocompromised people should be cautious.
People taking blood-thinning medications: Tahini is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin.
Those with digestive issues: Some people may find tahini difficult to digest due to its high fat content.Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about including tahini in your diet.

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
